A descendant of {{Vaudeville}}: an anthology of unrelated performances (be they musical, comedic, dramatic, etc.) by different performers. The format is literally OlderThanTelevision, being developed for radio and crossing over to TV as the medium became popular after UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. The first breakout television hits were variety shows, most notably the ''Texaco Star Theatre'' (hosted by Creator/MiltonBerle) and ''Series/TheEdSullivanShow''; other important examples from the [[TheFifties '50s]] and [[TheSixties '60s]] included ''Series/TheRedSkeltonShow'', ''The Creator/JackieGleason Show'', ''Series/TheCarolBurnettShow,'' and ''Series/TheSmothersBrothersComedyHour.'' As you might notice, many such shows were [[TheEponymousShow named for the host(s)]].

In TheSeventies, Ms. Burnett's show continued to perform well in the ratings, as did ''The Flip Wilson Show,'' ''Series/DonnyAndMarie'' and ''The Music/SonnyAndCher Comedy Hour''. However, overall the genre began to slide. The decline may be related to the fact that, increasingly, variety shows were used as [[MidseasonReplacement "summer series"]] while American networks' main shows were on hiatus. Said replacements seemed to get exponentially corny and their hosts increasingly unlikely, including Series/TheBradyBunch, mimes (!) Shields and Yarnell, affable TV actor Ken Berry, and pop groups ranging from The Starland Vocal Band to The Hudson Brothers.
